Abstract
CIM-OSA defines an architectural framework (the CIM-OSA cube) which covers all constructs required to model particular enterprises. The data-processing resources of the enterprise are modelled in different levels of abstraction in the resource view of the CIM-OSA cube. The abstract mode] of the CIM-OSA integrated data-processing environment contains as its central part the CIM-OSA integrating infrastructure (IIS) which provides services to integrate all specific application processes of the enterprise into one co-operating system. The integrating infrastructure therefore consists of the following system-wide services: the informationistrating all information required by the various application processes; the business process services scheduling the provision of resources and dispatching the execution of enterprise activities; the front end services representing the various types of manufacturing resources to the business process services in a homogeneous fashion; and the communication services being responsible for system-wide homogeneous and reliable data communication.
